Spicy Lime Mayo – Two Cooks Cooking

Photo lost when the old site was hacked. Newer posts will have photos.

Z’s Mom recommended a spicy lime mayo recipe she happened across recently and we thought that it sounded delicious. And let’s be real — isn’t everything with mayo delicious?

We tried this with our carnitas and loved it. We would recommend it with anything you want to add spice and richness to. The amounts below made a ton of it — we might recommend halving it or something of the sort.

Spicy Lime Mayo

1/2 cup mayonaisse

1 tbsp sriracha sauce (or more if desired)

zest of half of a lime

2 oz lime juice

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth and combined.

I’m wondering if you could use less lime juice if you used Greek yogurt instead of mayo?

Yeah, that’s worth a shot, but mayo is so yummy!

We made it again with a big clove of pressed garlic and it was also delicious!
